I'm not certain about this (maybe someone who knows for sure can chime in). I'm pretty sure you can sue anyone for anything, and then the judge throws it out if the case doesn't have merit. But if enough people do it, somebody somewhere has to make a decision about whether to keep hearing cases or change the law to make filing illegal somehow. That's the point where people get seriously pissed off and protests form and somebody stands to lose an election. I saw a documentary along similar lines where a town didn't want a pig farm (due to smell etc). The county wanted to force them to do it, so they said no and sued the county. Then the state said no so they sued the state. I think it went all the way to the supreme court. They worked their way up the ladder until finally the law was changed so that towns had their own say in whether they wanted to smell like a pig farm (which no town does). This technique works well for environmental laws and when corporations poison neighborhoods with pollution, things of that nature. Edit: I went to find the case but there are so many that I think the results stand on their own: https://www.google.com/search?q=pig+farm+lawsuit https://www.google.com/search?q=pig+farm+lawsuit
